Fallbrook awarded $50,000 grant

The San Diego Chargers — partnered with the National Football League Grassroots Program and LISC San Diego — awarded a $50,000 grant to Fallbrook high school, according to a press release.

The grant will be used to restore the Warriors’ stadium press box.

““We are tremendously excited and grateful to have been selected as the recipient of this very generous award,” said Fallbrook principal Rod King in a statement.

“Through the assistance of LISC, the NFL Foundation, the San Diego Chargers, along with our football boosters and community sponsors, we can finally see this long-awaited project coming to fruition.”

The Grassroots program provides general field support and the opportunity for rehabilitation of playing fields.

“Fallbrook High School is one of San Diego’s oldest schools. It has great sports programs and tradition, but also, due to its age, many, many needs,” said Chargers Executive Vice President & CEO A.G. Spanos in a statement.

“We’re proud to help with the restoration of their press box and help them continue to realize the benefits of their football and sports programs.”
